IMPROVEMENT IN CH'UIRNS.

The Schedule referred toin these Letters Patent and making part o1 the same To 'all whom it ,bury concern skilled in the art to make and use the saule, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a vertical central section of my improved churn and Figure 2 is a plan view'of the same, the cover heing removed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

llhis invention relates to a new mechanism for opoperating churn-dashers, and has for its object to facilitate the production of butter by a thorough agitation of the cream.

-The invention consists,'ehieiiy, in suspending the dasherfrmn a crank-shaft and a set of false cranks, in

such manner that it will he carried around said shaft, but not around its own axis, so as to act with each of its wings in a diti'erent direction.

A in the drawing represents the body of the churn.

B is the cover ofthe same.

Through the center of the cove-r is -fitted a vert-ical shaft, C, which is, by means ofgearin a al, or otherwise', connected with a horizontal shaft, sD, that has its hearings in ears project-ing from the cover.

The shaft O terminates directly below the cover B,- ln a crank, b, which is secured to the middle of the dasher E.

l wings that radiate from a common center.

The wings are beveled' at their lower ends, tor the This dasher is` madeof wood or other suitable material, and consists' of four, more or less, perforated purpose of overcoming friction, and for also agitating the cream under the flasher'.

The'ends. of the wings are, by means of false cranks d d, connected with the cover, the said cranks d beint.,r exactly parallel with thccrank b. When the shaft G is revolved by means of theldriving-shaft D, it will revolvethe crank b, and all the other cranks d will rotate with it,- so as to carry the dasher around the fixed centers-of the cranks, but not aroundV its own axis. Y.

The action of each wing upon the cream will, therefore,v be more confined to the range. of vsuch wing, and more thorough than where all the wingsrotatcd in the. same direction, around one center. l

By my improved mechanism the dashers are all moved in different planes, and crowd the cream against the sides ofthe churn.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The winged churn-dasher, suspended from and actuated by means of cranks b and d, substantially as herein shown and described.
